What was she making?
Conductors size their orchestras based upon the music at hand, or the exigencies of the venue,and without that info, I can't tell you what karajan was aiming for.

You don't know.
And, you've just said that orchestral sonority is " not a worthy question as is. It's like asking why Martha Stewart used 10 eggs".
Nice shot, genius.
As I've stated in my post above, 8 or 9 basses are AUDIBLY different than 4 or 5. EXCEPT TO YOU.
"Conductors size their orchestras based upon the music at hand"
Such as who???
The question was SPECIFICALLY ABOUT KARAJAN. He used 10 basses. It wasn't for a joke. It wasn't for Martha Stewart". Why did he do that?
"or the exigencies of the venue,and without that info, I can't tell you what karajan was aiming for"
The BPO played in it's home concert hall. They recorded there, too, and afaik, stayed with 10 basses for recordings, too.
You can't tell - cause you HAVE NO FRIGGIN IDEA
